Burt Munro of Invercargill

Burt Munro was the New Zealander who set an under-1000 cc world motorcycle land speed record—which still stands—in 1967 at Bonneville Salt Flats, USA, with a self-modified Indian motorcycle. His effort to set the record was made famous by the 2005 film "The World's Fastest Indian" (2005), starring Anthony Hopkins.

Our Burt Munro tour visits Invercargill, the city at the bottom of the South Island, where Burt Munro lived.
Usually we go there on the weekend of Burt Munro Challenge. However, the organisers of the Challenge cannot confirm the dates of this weekend in future years, so our visit to Invercargill may not coincide with the festival.
